0 comments

UPDATE: The first application due date for the BRE-SPAD program has changed to February 19, 2025. For more information, see NOT-GM-25-010.

The notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for our Biomedical Research Environment & Sponsored Programs Administration Development (BRE-SPAD) program is now available (PAR-24-268). The program aims to promote broad participation in biomedical research by supporting resource-limited institutions to conduct research, enhance their research environments, and increase sponsored programs’ administration capacity.

Applications should propose activities in at least two of the following areas:

  • Developing sponsored programs’ administration 
  • Cultivating growth in the research environment 
  • Administering pilot research projects 

Organizational eligibility for BRE-SPAD is restricted to resource-limited institutions as defined in the NOFO. However, BRE-SPAD programs can include partner organizations that don’t meet BRE-SPAD-specific criteria.
